Barnyard stock
Gently fry the hen in a frying pan. Sweat the carrots, onions and spring onions in some butter in a stainless steel pan, and mix thoroughly. Add the cooked carcasses. Add the cold water and reduced red wine. Add the veal foot, garlic and concentrated tomato. Cook on a low heat for two hours, skimming the froth off. Drain and pass through a vegetable blender. Cool quickly, remove all the fat and store in the fridge.

Artichoke stock
Place the chickpeas to soak in water the night before. Cut everything, apart from the artichokes, into even-sized slices. Clean the artichokes, removing the outer leaves, without peeling them or removing the fuzz. Place in a pan, cover and sweat the vegetables with the olive oil, parsley, bay leaf, type and crushed cardamom. Add the artichokes and toss everything together for a few minutes. Process in a Gastrovac. Add white wine, stock, water and then the chickpeas. Leave to rest slightly and cook for 90 minutes at 55 ºC. After reaching the temperature indicated, drain and leave to cool.

Artichoke and rosemary infusion
Pour the artichoke stock into a pan and bring to the boil. Take off the heat and add the rosemary leaves. Cover with film and leave to infuse for 3 minutes. Drain and rest until ready to serve.

Confit artichokes
Add the artichokes to the oil, the tarragon leaves and a pinch of salt. Place in a vacuum bag. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 100 °C. Cook for 25 minutes (the time varies depending on the size of the artichokes).

Oily rosemary base
Place all the ingredients (apart from the oil) together in a pan and blend with the mixer. Heat, stirring constantly. When the mixture has thickened, add the oil to obtain an emulsion.

Raw artichoke slices
Pour half a litre of water into a container along with a teaspoon of ascorbic acid. Cut the artichokes into very fine slices, then soak in the water and ascorbic acid.

Garnish
Remove the artichokes from the vacuum bag, cut one in half and the other into quarters. Drain the oil, add salt to taste and spread with the oily stock. Use the oily stock to make a mark on the plate, place the artichokes on top of it and top with the raw artichoke sl
